Half of the world's population consists of women, who play important roles in cultural formation and education, maintain and promote households and their health, and consequently affect the community. In a general sense, women's health may be an important cornerstone for the formation of a healthy community. In developing countries, 67% of women work in the agriculture sector and produce 55% of the food products throughout the world. In East Asian countries, which have the highest level of cloth and furniture export, 74% of workers are women. Due to these considerations, we assessed women's health indicators in Iran. We reviewed health information from national health reports, including two national health surveys conducted in 1991 and 2009 with a sample size of 1/1,000 of the Iranian population, the 2000 Iran Demographic and Health Survey, and all published indices that were calculated in 2006 or later. The most important finding was that the maternal mortality rate decreased from 54 per 100,000 live births in 1991 to 37.4 per 100,000 live births in 1997. It decreased further to 24.7 per 100,000 live births in 2006. The Millennium Development Goal is 18-22 per 100,000 live births in 2015.
世界人口的一半是女性，她们在文化形成和教育中发挥着重要作用，维持并促进家庭及其健康，从而影响着社区。从总体意义上讲，女性健康可能是形成健康社区的重要基石。在发展中国家，67%的女性从事农业部门工作，生产全世界55%的食品。在布料和家具出口水平最高的东亚国家，74%的工人是女性。基于这些考虑，我们评估了伊朗的女性健康指标。我们查阅了国家健康报告中的健康信息，包括1991年和2009年进行的两次全国健康调查（样本量为伊朗人口的千分之一）、2000年伊朗人口与健康调查，以及2006年或之后计算出的所有已发表指数。最重要的发现是，孕产妇死亡率从1991年的每10万例活产54例降至1997年的每10万例活产37.4例。到2006年，这一数字进一步降至每10万例活产24.7例。千年发展目标是到2015年每10万例活产18 - 22例。
